NVIDIA Quadro M5500: specs and benchmarks
Summary
NVIDIA started Quadro M5500 sales 4 April 2016. This is a Maxwell architecture notebook card based on 28 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at designers. 8 GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 6.61 GHz are supplied, and together with 256 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 211 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is card attached via PCIe 3.0 x16 interface. Power consumption is at 150 Watt.
It provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at 20.33% of a leader's which is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
